African food with a modern flair.

Banga Soup

Banga is one of the most delicious soups I have ever tasted. it has the savoriness of Gbegiri but it's in a class of it own. The soup is widely enjoyed all over Africa and it's called different things by different groups. (Banga by the Deltans/Benins, Obe eyin by the yorubas, Mbanga by the Cameroonians, amiedi by the urhobos and obey-ekpo itsekiris to name a few).  If you havent tried it yet, please do you will not regret it.

Ingredients
2 cups palm nut fruits (I used Ghana Fresh)
2 cups Assorted meat of choice (Precooked) (I used Shaki, Dried fish and Ponmo)
3 Tspns grounded crayfish
2 cubes Bouillon cube (Maggi or Knorr)
1 tspn salt ( to taste)
1/2 tspn locust beans (Iru) (optional)
1 tspn bitter leave (optional)
